RECALL HIM.
The Advice Given the English Govern
ment in Regard to Chamberlain.

TORONTO. Nov. ?.
The Toronto Globe this evening reiterates
the demand that Chamberlain be recalled and
says there is no ought or should in the case,
but must.
The British people should understand that
their own interests are largely at stake ON the
impending negotiations. Shoald the COM
missioners fail 10 reach a settlement or the
Senate make an agreement. nothing is more
certain than war between Great Britain and
the United States. This can be avoided on
ly by Great Britain abandoning Canada tn
a way that may forever disgrace the British
name
The Globe further says that should the ne
gotiations fail, the President must enforce
the retaliation bill. If so war with Great
Britain would result, which is more TO be
feared than any other war that could posi-
bly, occur. There is only one way to avoid
disgrace and danger. Chamberlain's insult
10 that class of American citizens whose
loyalty rang true by the most terrible of tests
when thousands of sons of Irish mothers
faced' death in battles for the republic. is
the sole cause of.the present embarrassment.
Better that he undergo his desserts than that
the peace of hundreds of millions of English
speaking people be jeopardized in behalf of
his dignity.

INDIAN PUPILS
Can Receive Religious instruction in
the English Language
WASHINGTON. Nov.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.
A delegation headed by ex-Justice Strong,
representing the American Bible Society,
the Mohawk conference and several religious
missionary societies called upon the Presi-
dent today and urged him to modify the or
der of the Interior department prohibiting the
use of the Indian language in Indian schools.
The delegation stated that the broad inter-
probation given to the order practically put
an end to the religious instruction. Indians
in the several mission schools'are compelled
to suspend work in consequence. They rep
resented 40 900 Indian children of school
age of which $1,000 are pupils and 25,-
600 adult Indians who cannot understand any
language but their own.
The delegation was heartily in sympathy
with the governments effort to teach the In
dians English, but believed an exception
should be made in religious instruction un-
til the Indians understand English.
The Presidents reply was entirely salts
factory. He said the order was not intended
to be construed so literally as to forbid re
ligious instruction in the Indian language and
the recent annual report of the Commission
er of Indian Affairs made this clear.

CONSIDERABLE DOUBTS
As to Whether Jefferson Davis Will
Return to His Home Alive--His Con-
6tion Extremely Precarious-

NEW YORK, Nov. ..
The Hersld's Mscons Ga. dispatch says
there are doubts as 10 whether Jeffer-
son Davis will return to his home alive His
condition is extremely precarious. For sew
eral years he has been troubled with a ser
ious affection of the heart. The excitement
of last week served to aggravate his ailment.
Since Saturday he has been confined TO his
bed and ply sician has been in daily atten-
dance. The wound received in the Mexican
war is troublesome. He rallies at times and
questions those about him concerning the
result of Gen. Gordon's speeches in Ohio
and the manner in which the people are dis
posed 10 receive his counciliatory utterances.
On Monday he felt improved and despite adj
vice he entertained young ladies of Wesle-
yam College. Davis was helped down stairs
When the reception was concluded he re-
turned TO his room completely exhausted
1t is understood that his daughters who are
the guests of the city of Macon, have been
summoned TO their fathers side. The end is
expected AT any moment.

The following is custom in vogue among

MECHANICS FAIR.
A Description of the Exhibits Displayed
by the Massachusetts Charitable Me-
chanics Association.

BosToS, Nov. z.
Our people should lose no time in visiting
the Mechanics Fair. In no other place in
this country can so much be got in the same
time and at such trifiing cost. To see and
comprehend anything like the whole at one
visit is quite impossible. 1t is safe to say
that days may be proftably spent in this
building by anyone desirous Of getting a
really good and true idea of the present sta
tus of our various industries.
There are four immense floors, three
broad balconies and other halls and rooms
all filed with exhibits covering many depart
ments of industry and art. To simply give
the names of the machines with any hint of
what they do would fill volumes. Many of
these machines are entirely new and novel,
while nearly all are new to the great mass of
the people who are much interested in watch
ing them in operation.
To illustrate we mention one point in one
machine. On the balcony floor of Exhibition
Hall is loom weaving carpets. In order to
give the carpet the peculiar texture and ap-
pearance familiar to all, it is necessary to
insert large steel wires between the threads
OF the warp at the moment when the fly
ing shuttle carries the filling into its place
To do this, little steel fingers dart out at cx-

Many of our citizens are now receiving
circulars from parties in new York offering
to supply counterfeit money for reasonable

such chestnut that nobody in this city will
ever be caught by it. We have in mind one
of our citizens who some years ago attempt

on his good United States money expecting
to get the green goods in return and his dis
gust when he received sawdust was very
great. He could do nothing about it, how
ever, and has since tried no more exposures
of the sort.
